2.Installation

This chapter describes how to install the Acqiris hardware and software for Windows 2000/XP, National Instruments LabVIEW RT, Linux, or Wind River VxWorks.

NOTE: For a first time installation we strongly recommend installing the software before inserting the hardware into the PC.

2.1.IC414 Installation

NOTE: If you are going to install an IC414 interface for the first time and are running Windows 2000/XP you should follow the procedure below before installing the Acqiris hardware.

2.1.1. IC414 Hardware installation hints

The PCI-8570/PXI-8570 User's Manual (Rev. 1.00) section 2.5 gives Hardware Installation instructions.

CAUTION: Turn off the power of the PC; the PC may have to be unplugged to ensure that the PCI bus has no power available.

CAUTION: Touch the antistatic package to a grounded object before removing the card from the package. Electrostatic discharge can damage the card.

The standard cable pair provided each have a red connector on one end and a black connector on the other. Therefore the correct connection can be made by plugging the Red connector into the L0Rx socket and the Black connector into the L0Tx socket on the PXI module and the other Red connector into the PCI module socket furthest from the PCI card internal base connector and the Black connector into the next socket.

If you intend to use 64-bit 66 MHz transfer to maximize data transfer speed you should cable a “bundled link” using two standard cable pairs and both the L0 and L1 pairs of connectors. You should also make sure that you configure the PXI-8570 M66EN Jumper correctly.

2.1.2. IC414 Windows software installation

Linux users do not need to read any further since there is no special software installation.

Windows users should have the hardware installed as noted above. This software installation should be done before any Acqiris modules are placed in the CompactPCI crates. This may mean that you have to remove the module from the crate as delivered.

The crate should be turned on first followed by the PC. If the cabling and start-up sequence is done correctly there will be no LED illuminated on the PCI unit connected pair and the LED's of the PXI connected pair will be lit.

For Windows XP installation, Select the Control Panel under Settings in the Start menu. Then, if you are using the Category View select Printers and Other Hardware. After this, for both Category and Classic views, go to System and then display the Hardware tab to get access to the Driver Signing menu. Since neither the AdLink nor the Acqiris driver has been submitted for Windows Logo testing you must select either the Ignore or Warn action. The resulting menu looks as shown:
